all  fleshfolk share  this  kind of  sea 
 within them  that  soothes  the  ache of 
             the rocky shores             
                                          
         does it erode the stone?         
        this water can be poisoned.       
                                          
                                      
                                          
 a  priority  is the  flow of  the blood, 
 and the oxygen level in  it.  it's  also 
 nice to  maintain a low viscosity level, 
          perhaps by hydration.           
                                          
                                      
                                          
 red  as  night  and  warm  to  the touch
